From the Repoet of ne Indiana Bureau % statistics
Dubois County.
This county is 1875 miles southwest Of
Indianapolis aud 90 miles northeast 81
Evansville. 1t has an area Of 432 square
miles. In 1880 the population was i5,-
992. and in 1856 estimated ~ 1874.
White River traverses most Of the
northern boundary Of the county, aud
Pstoka River flows through the center
from east TO west. These, with their
numerous tributaries, water every part
and afford fine mill sites.
sIn general as the surveyor writes.
athe county can be divided north and
south into three divisions, each about six
miles wide. The west third is used ior
farming almost entirely, for that is the
level land OF the county. The middle -
used for farming and manufacturing.
The east third il used for farming and
timber. The western part will remain
principally az farming country, and the
will be the mining region"
The soil OF the bottoms is very fertile.
I'm the southern part the soil is well
adapted 10 the growth Of tobacco, and
large amounts are raised. The soil Of
the lower knolls and valleys 10 adapted
lto The growth OF apples aud the small
fruits Of an excellent quality. Tho many
valleys Of the eastern part have good
springs and make excellent stock farms.

n In the meantime, while in the East

least two.story and basement block
3Oxl20 feet; but may build three
stories. The house will have all the
modern improvements, and cost from
$4,000 to $4,000. The bsseme n,
will be good for lager beer hall, for
instance; the first door for first. class

An Industry that Claus Spreckles

says, Will MAKE Onr Farmers blcn.
Claus Spreckles. the California
sugar-king, has Just returned from
Europe, where he went to study the
beet sugar industry. He found that
the Germans were the most success
full in this direction, and that 20 acres
in sugar beets made farmer rich.
Land known to be capable OF raising
sugar bets in Germany sells for from
$1,000 to $500 per acre. To obtain
the best results, however, the beet
grower must manufacture them into
sugar, and to do this co operation is
necessary; hence all tho farmers in .
nsighborhood band together, purchase
machinery, turn their beets into sugar,
and-get rich.
Mr.. Spreckles is so confident that
the industry will pay in the United
States, that he has purchased $780,
900 worth of machinery and over rs
tons of beet seed. With which to make
the experiment on large scale. As

Permit q Chiuaman 10 Escape.
As Christopher Buckley is believed
to be one OF the principal stockhold.
ers in the Junction mine, on the Gold
Belt, anything relating to him is Of
interest here. 1t is therefore not with
out regret that we learn by the tele.
graph dispatches that this truly good
man, who has labored so assiduonsly
to purity California politics, is accused
of bribing jury for the purpose Of
securing the acqui.tal of a Chinaman
accused of heinous crime. To be
sure, it would be damaging enough
for Mr.. Buckley to be accused OF any
crime whatever; but since the charge
is that of assisting hated "Chinee"
to escape merited punishment, it is to
be feared that, ia view of the anti
Chinese feeling on this coast, the
gentle,nan's usefulness as manipu.
lator Of patriots will be destroyed un-
less he can make out very clear case.

John Redding was up from Belle
vue, to-day, to see If he could not be
excused from jury duty on the ground
OF his connection with the fire com.
pany. The excuse is valid, but Mr..
Redding will have to make it in

The north bound train was two

HALEY depoc to-day. If the post
masters along the river reported the
frequent delays to Washington, an
improvement might be secured in the
service.
